<p>An incredibly small nit, but if you're including a URL in a paragraph, you shouldn't use parentheses to delimit a URL. As technically they are valid URI characters so some parsers add the <code>)</code> to the URL at the end of the link which causes the link to 404. The <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#appendix-C" target="_blank" title="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#appendix-C">URI Generic Syntax RFC</a> recommends using whitespace, double quotes <code>"https://rust-lang.org"</code>, or angle brackets <code>&lt;https://rust-lang.org&gt;</code>.</p>

<p>I would suggest angle brackets, for consistency with convention elsewhere, such as in markdown.</p>
